Rate of reactions of most organic compounds are____________________?
Correct answer: C. slow
- A. very slow
- B. very fast
- C. slow
- D. no regular character present
Explanation
Most organic reactions are relatively slow because covalent bonds are strong and many reactions require significant activation energy or specific conditions. The likely distractor is very slow, but organic reaction rates range widely and are generally described as slow rather than universally very slow.

About Rate of Reaction
Reaction rate measures the change in concentration of a reactant or product per unit time. Questions connect rate with concentration, temperature, pressure, surface area, catalysts and nature of reactants, and may involve rate laws, reaction order, activation energy and collision theory. Rate describes speed, whereas equilibrium describes the final balance of opposing reactions.
